“It’s not a good time. It’s as far from a good time as you can get, and I regret all of my life decisions now. Ha, yeah, punishing myself is a good way of putting it. Thanks for the advice. Too bad it’s too late to do anything about it.”

“That’s a little drastic. Regretting some, sure, but all of them just because of a crappy class? Way too extreme. But you’re welcome, advice is what I do. I’m great at it. It is too late, but at least now the next time you pick a class, you know what not to do. It’s a learning experience.”

“In the washroom? Seriously? That’s just… eww. I mean, there are enough on-call rooms in this hospital that they could have gone in one of them instead. What the hell is wrong with kids today? Better question is, did you say anything to them? Or were you just preoccupied on backing out slowly? The washroom…”

“Right? I mean, listen. I try not to judge too hard, I have had sex in some very questionable places around the hospital, but that? That is not one of them. For a second I debated just walking out without saying anything, but I couldn’t do it. I have them an earful. Whether or not they listened and got back to work is unknown, but I do know that I don’t want to touch that counter top again until I’m sure it’s had a thorough cleaning.”

“Maybe they’re into that sort of thing,” Everett replied with a shrug and a laugh. “They probably wanted to get caught. Turns em on even more. There’s people like that out there you know.” Not that he would know anything about that sort of subject. “It does seem rather unprofessional to be caught doing that in there though.” 

“Oh, I’m plenty aware of people being into it,” she said. She wasn’t about to admit to him that she wasn’t entirely opposed to that kind of thing though. “Into it or not, there are so many better places they could go if they wanted that kind of thrill,” Amelia pointed out. “More.. sexy, sanitary, better smelling places that offer the same risk of getting caught.” She nodded. “Unprofessional, yes. Go save a life and learn, save that for another time and another place.”

“I don’t even understand half of this crap. Someone remind me again why I decided to take AP Calculus this year. Other than apparently wanting to punish myself.” 

“I can’t say that I know why you decided to do that, but it definitely does not sound like a good time. Next time you want to punish yourself, just get someone to hide your phone, or go eat something you think is gross.”

“You’re just not a dedicated enough teacher, are you? You should go back and get a good look and teach them better.. Also I needed a coffee so there’s that.. was gonna send my intern”

“The I’m not sharing kind of chips”

“I’m their teacher, not their babysitter or their STD preventer,” Amelia countered. “The way you keep saying I need to get a good look and teach them better is not helping you in any way, shape or form, so you should probably just stop,” she added. “Your intern, your problem.”

“Rude. I’ve shared plenty of chips with you.”

Alex waited for her to finish the story before he spoke, he was learning how to be a decent human being after all this time.. “Dude, Did you get a good look? I’m missing my intern. I don’t really know what they look like half naked or fully naked. Go back and get them”

“I can’t go get them. I got a consult with a bag of chips”

“Perv. Why would I want to get a good look?” she asked. “Mm, if you were missing yours I’m going to guess that was one of them.” She looked at him, shaking her head quickly. “I am not going to go back and get them. I already yelled at them, I’d rather not go back to see if they listened,” she stated.

“What kind of chips?”

“I walked in on two interns getting it on in the washroom today,” Amelia said, shaking her head. “I’ve gotta say.. if you’re going to do that, at least go into a stall, or a lockable supply closet. Right there in the open though? That would not be my first choice.” She paused. “I mean, I was not that stupid when I was an intern. I was never that stupid, period. Not even back in my tumor days when I had very little impulse control. Even if that kind of open space gives you a thrill, it’s not the best idea. Go to a forest or a store’s changing room.”
